Gamling as a entertainment

[Rubel007]

Most times these set of gamblers who consider gambling for its profitability and how much they can gain from it may have gotten these wrong and flawed perspective and mentality of gambling from people who introduced them into the system, their referee may have told them that gambling had the ability to earn one and honest living and coming into gambling with such mindset, it becomes impossible to change your earliest perspective and if not controlled, it could lead to so many wromg and impulsive choices, simply because you want to win at all cost, since you already believe thats what gambling is all about, aboit winning and making more profit.

Gamblers should always remember that gambling is a very risky and unpredictable activity, hence the reason why it's unsafe to depend on it as a source of income but rather as a recreation activity or just for the thrill of the game, by always considering gambling as as form of entertainment, we'll understand how to be able to manage risk and also know when to walk away from the casino, which is a very important thing to do, especially when things are heating up.

Yes, expecting too much profit in gambling is often experienced by gamblers and they can even play brutally without having to think about the big risks one day and gamblers are already blinded by the profits that they see from other gamblers and they don't even really understand about the struggle such as how to control yourself properly and skills in gambling so as not to make mistakes.

Expecting to win big in gambling is a common issue among gamblers. Those who gamble must consider not only the profits but also the risk. A gambler is being controlled by greed when he is expecting from excessive gambling. We can not expect positive gambling experience from a greedy gambler. As there is a big risk along with profit and loss again one gambler's win can never be guaranteed. Those who want to gamble by following the gambling of others will never be able to win from gambling. So it is better to gamble for entertainment not for winning.

You are absolutely right, as gamblers we must understand the real risks and impacts in gambling itself, don't just look at the positive side of profit or victory because besides that there will be a negative side, namely defeat which may often be experienced by gamblers in general.
Yes and we still see many around us many greedy gamblers in pursuing victory and we can take advantage of that experience, namely greedy gamblers will lose control because they spend a lot of money and in the end will lose a lot of money too.
So we should maintain good control and stay away from greed so as not to harm ourselves.

It is a fact when we play that emotions are there on the surface, it is something that cannot be denied, in fact it is what makes us human, otherwise I think life would have no meaning, in fact we look for the casino to have fun and earn money, but in this case for me I have not found until now another way to control everything only maintaining discipline with money, and that is something that controls absolutely everything, that is why I say it, so things get very interesting in the game, if the money that is willing to lose runs out, then that's it.

You're right that emotions are what makes us human and it normal show emotions when faced or encountered with certain situations, and gambling isn't an exception, but as humans we have the ability to learn from an unpleasant experience that has caused us some sort of damage or losses, so as to avoid a repetition of that same event.
Gambling is something that can cost us a lot when we make impulsive decisions due to emotional imbalance, so let's say the first time it happened to us, it was due to ignorance of the situation, which is actually normal, but when the same scenario repeats and starts happening multiple times, it stops being normal and suddenly becomes unusual and abnormal, because nobody wants to be losing money while chasing momey and seeimg that this is the case with gambling impulsively, why not quit or start gambling responsibly.

Exactly, that's how it is. For me , things should always be very favorable so that they can be made better. If one takes the casino or the games as a way of doing things to Entertain and have fun, it's better, not for something else or for another purpose For those who take the game as a job or as something that has to be earned by playing, I think that is the wrong vision, not only because that is what it means, but also because it is a direct path to Addiction.

Most definitely,
And I believe the reason most people have this flawed perspective about gambling is because of how they learned about gambling or who told them about gambling, this is often what determines how a person perceives gambling, which is major factor that influences a person's attitude towards gambling.
The experiences or means by which we are introduced to gambling may either instill a negative or positive mindset or perspective in us or even provide a balanced understanding. It's quite unfortunate that in our society today, many individuals who come into the gambling world are taught that gambling could help alleviate one from poverty or could be a source of income rather than viewing gambling as a means of entertainment and recreation, which of course is the actual purpose for gambling, and this is why gambling is more problematic to people rather being enjoyed. So the picture we portray to others about gambling is very crucial, especially when the person in question is relatively new to the gambling world.

I have gained practical experience in such a matter. A few days ago I had an acquaintance who works in a industry. Once a moment he started thinking of gambling as a source of income and at one point suggested me to gamble and earn from it. He also started considering gambling as a part of his another income. When he was able to make some profit from it his greed made him eager to keep more gambling money. When I forbade him at that time, he never care. He was well-established before gambling but eventually he lost gambling and when that level got too high he went into debt. Now he has to survive managing his family. There are many gamblers who consider gambling as a source of income instead of entertainment which at one point makes him destroyed greatly.

Lack of self-control and once again, discipline.

The lack of self-control happens when gamblers are winning consecutive times. There are some gamblers out there who are spending more time with gambling that they are seeing it as a way to earn some money instead of it as a way to get entertained. I can't blame them because it's their decision after all, but they must know that spending too much time on gambling might lead to more losses and getting more addicted to it.

If possible, avoiding gambling would be the best option, but if they can't then at least they must be ready to face losses. Gambling for some can be a form of entertainment and they're the ones who don't really care about losing as long as they're happy doing it.

Gamers are always gamblers and when they are used to gambling it could be very hard for them to quit or stop because it has routed into them, but what matters most is that if a gambler reduces his attention or focus on something else it will be most lesser for him to become addicted but in a way where they don't focus on other things then addition is certainly unavoidable because of the much attention given to gambling.

What are the chances for an addicted gambler to reduce his attention in gambling and focus it on something else? I doubt that they can do it alone. They will need help from other people in order for that to happen.

Gambling addiction is way worse than drug addiction and diabetes combined based on WHO. Gambling addiction is very hard to deal with, and the problem right now is that, there are many people who can just access it easily through their smartphone, and since it can be accessed that easily, it's hard for an addicted gambler to divert his attention to something else.

Yes, and it's very very hard for a addicted gambling to recover and stay away. He or she should get the needed attention because they themselves have difficulty to really stay away from gambling for good.

It's worst because physically, mentally, and financially you will be drained and for sure you are going to dragged a lot of people along the way with your addiction to gambling. And there are relationship destroyed as well. Friendship is gone because the gambling can't pay his loan or debt. So very very hard to bounce and be your old self unless something happen in your life that will make your stay away from gambling for good.

Expecting to win is actually something natural, I will not be hypocritical to say I do not expect to win when I gamble, often I expect it, and I think that is fine.

However, what must be noted is not to make our hopes something that we must pursue because that is actually what becomes the problem in the end. When we make our hopes something that we must pursue, that is where addiction or excessive gambling will arise.

Yeah you are correct. It's not always the reason why we place bets on gambling because we wanted to have fun but we also wanted something in return as a challenge to beating the system of gambling though majority of us failed to do such thing to win but atleast we tried. Chasing hopes is bad especially if it is too much it will lead us to more losses.

We just have to know the portion where we can put that hope, and also we have to put the portion where we have to stop gambling. At first we just have fun in gambling, but when we don't know how far we have to do it then it's something dangerous too, because in the end that pleasure controls us.

We have to know the time, like when we work, maybe our body can be forced to work 16 hours a day for example, but that will be a problem in the future for our health.

You're right, we as human beings have many innate things: emotions and impulses, but we also have and can use reason, that is the most powerful weapon, our intelligence, obviously since this is related to money, we must take care of it, there is no need to spend it all, or go crazy at the casino, we have to have very good options to master that part, in fact I am one of those who has always said that by controlling money, emotions are automatically controlled.

Of course. Gambling, casino or games whatever we call them should be considered as entertainment. It is best to withdraw from those arrangements to avoid the additional financial loss that comes with addiction. You can gamble as your hobby or leisure time at the end of your busy day. In this case, you should refrain from spending extra money on gambling beyond your allotted amount because keeping your emotions under control can make you the best.

I feel I can actuyagree with you on this one.
While emotions and impulse are inevitably part of human characteristics doesn't mean we can't learn how to master and control them when it comes to decision making, especially when it has to do with one's finances. This is because decisions make due to emotional outburst or impulsive behaviour could result to losses of one's finance because that's a very unstable state of mind and a very bad state for someone to make financial decisions.
And I also think your assertion regarding a person who's able to control money automatically being able to control is emotions, I find this to be true because the reason most people start feeling so emotional is mostly due to their finances or future of their investment. What I mean is that, when a gambler is currently making profits in gambling, he more currently view this as an opportunity to increase or multiply his wealth by making even more wins, which may automatically result to a change in emotions and approach, same with when a gambler is losing repeatedly, this may also affevt his logical thinking, replacing it with emotions, he may end up seeing a possibility of him winning back his money, so this results to him making some emotiinal and impulsive decisions, just so he could recover the money he lost to the casino.

Many times people do not see the game just as Entertainment, but they see it as and only relying on luck, and for me that is something that does not make sense, sometimes maturity or maybe those who have lost a lot in the game realize that the game is only for fun and or for something else, less taking it as work, because basically when things happen like that it is so that they are Disappointed , and hopefully it is only Disappointment, it is the loss of money that hurts the most , that is why losing money should be avoided at all costs.

Here in my place gamblers see it as a source of income which is for me unacceptable since it does not gave them stable source of money. Some of them even borrow money to gamble and some of them use the hard earned money they got from a life threatening job and yeah it does not brought them good income but instead it brings chaos to their family everytime they lost a bet and that is pretty normal here and in addition to that they are also dependent to the governments financial aid and based on what I have witnessed they are really that irresponsible and entertainment is not their thing

Sometimes, I think that people that are addicted really know they are in deep gambling addiction but they just don't care to check the bad side of it on them while they focus on the money. You know that when you are bias in an argument, you see the truth sometimes but because you have an agenda to fulfill, you will never agree to what others are saying.

Gambling addiction lies in most gamblers but the ones that you see dodge it are the smart ones and others that make money from it, the rest are there without knowing what to even do.

Indeed, and now we as human beings who also make many mistakes, it is possible that sometimes when we see that we win a lot of money at the casino we do not withdraw in time, originally for what you say, then in this case we have to know that when we enter the casino we must consider the only two options that can happen to us, win or lose, but many prepare to win and not realize what to do, the most logical thing is to save the money and bet less and less, but sometimes because you believe you have all the luck in the world what you do is risk more and that is why you lose something that was already won.
